VERNON AH KEE: COUNTING COUP

 

Vernon Ah Kee's artwork is set to feature in Counting Coup at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, New Mexico. Counting Coup considers the maker’s mark as a means of action and recognition through the guise of an exhibition of contemporary constructions that considers honoring, naming and claiming past accomplishments and victories. By keeping score, we are able to identify, witness and memorialize the greater narrative of our presence as a coup to who and where Native peoples are today. Counting Coup will include works by artists from the United States, Canada and Australia and range in media; sculpture, paintings, ceramics, textiles, photography, installation, film and video, and poetry. Counting Coup, August 19 - December 31, Museum of Contemporary Native Art, New Mexico, USA.
